Question

why do we need a standard meridian for india

Answer 1

Hello friend,
To avoid time differences and confusion between different States of India like Gujrat, Assam and maintain the same time for each state.
hope it helps.

Answer 2

We need a standard meridian to avoid the confusion with time in different States of India. For example: in Gujarat the Sun rises early than in that of Nagaland. So Gujarat cannot go with its own time and not even Nagaland.
So, that is the purpose for a standard meridian of India.
